Post traumatic test disorder.

No, not post traumatic stress disorder (that’s a real thing).

Post traumatic TEST disorder.

And so I made these. 

Restorative Oatmeal Cookies

1 stick butter, softened


2/3 cup light brown sugar, packed


1 egg


½ teaspoon vanilla extract


¾ cup all-purpose flour


½ teaspoon baking soda


½ teaspoon ground cinnamon


½ teaspoon salt

1 ½ cups rolled oats


1 cup dark chocolate discos (or use 1 cup of chocolate chips)

¾ cup chopped pecans

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).

Cream together the butter, brown sugar, egg and vanilla in a mixer until smooth. In a separate bowl, whisk the flour, baking soda, cinnamon and salt together. Stir this into the butter/sugar mixture. Stir in the oats, chocolate and pecans.

Chill the dough for about 20-30 minutes in the fridge. After chilled, scoop dough onto cookie sheet and bake for 10 minutes. They may look gooey but obviously this is a good thing. Let them cool then eat them up!
